One of the benefits/problems with entering a challenge late is that you can see what everyone else has made before you make your own. In this particular case, everything normal (i.e. butterflies, flowers, snowflakes) that fit in this sketch had been done be someone else. Then I found myself die cutting these trees out of various scraps on my desk, and I thought I would give it a shot.

Well, sometimes you follow a sketch to the letter, and sometimes it just inspires you and you start wandering off in your own direction. It's been a while since I put that much ribbon on a card! The gold background piece isn't a patterned paper, it's a scrap of something I painted myself. As much as I love patterned papers, making my own papers is fun!

I love the three trees and the ribbons- and that is why I am so slow with card making- I am very visual, so need to look around and get ideas for my card- then it turns out nothing like I imagined- but I like it that way!

About Me

I love to make little things like cards and jewelry, because I love to share them. I love blogging about them because I can share them with even more people. If you see something you really like, send me an
email
- if it isn't already promised to someone else, I will probably mail it to you.
